Bijeli Nerini Spring: A serene spot where you can rest and enjoy the tranquil sounds of nature.

The trail is approximately 12 km return, taking about 4 to 6 hours to complete, depending on your pace and the number of stops you make. The path is well-marked but can be rocky and uneven in places, so sturdy hiking shoes are recommended.
